Flapper Chorus Line with Ted Weems Orchestra - 1920's
You know you've made the Big Time when you're leading a band that's accompanied with a chorus line of perky flappers. But then again, if you're Ted Weems in the late 1920's & early 1930's, this is the life of a famous radio bandleader.
Just another day at the beach on the Eastern Seaboard during the Jazz Age, perhaps in Coney Island or Atlantic City.

Where are they now?
I like the big bands of the 30's on through the 40's! They make spectacular music. It's sad that there are only a few of these bands today and sometimes, you can just see them on small clubs...hmmm... big bands on small clubs...talking about sardines in tight cans...
Weems Rules
Jazz snobs be darned: nothin like Ted Weems for happy dancing music and novelty numbers.
